General Crooks Wife.

The wife Of General Crook. the Indian
fighter, is regarded as a public banefac-
tor by the people Of Arizona. 1t came
about in this way: She was travelling
across the Territory by rail several
years ago. Her luaches had been pro-
vided by a city caterer, and the most
striking feature of them was the
abundance of watcrcresses. There
were altogether too many crosses to
suit Mrs. Crooks taste, and accord
ingly she threw them out of the win
dow. But she did not dispose of them
%haphazard. The country is crossed by
innumcrablc brooks, and it was only
in passing them that Mrs. Crook threw
out the supcrhuous cyesses. They took
root on the spots where they fell and
multiplied with marvellous rapi1ity.
The result is that to-day this delicate
appetizer is to be found in almost all
parts of the Territory, where before
Mrs. Crooks chance sowing it was en-
tirely unknown. -LouisriM Courier

Remarkably Large Trees.

The banyan tree is one OF the re.
markable products Of the East Indies.
Its life is usually begun from a mi
mute seed dropped by some bird upon
some other plant, such as tho wild
date, which it brushes as it grows.
Every branch from the main body
throws out It's own roots, which. con-
stantly thickening, descend to the
ground several yards below, where
they strike in, increase to large trunks,
and send out new branches from theil
tops, which in turn repeat the process.
The botanic garden at Calcutta contains
a great banyan, now about a century
old, which has n parent trunk AZ feet
in circumference, 232 root trunks
ranging from u few inches to q foot
around, with vast leaiy crown 857
feet in circumference. Near the hill
fort Wysatgarh. in the Bombay Prcsi'
dcncy, is a banyan whose top in 1882
measured 1857 feet in circumference.
Other specimens greatly exceed even
this prodigious size, single trees being
said to cover thirteen acres. The
famous banyan under which Alex.
andor tho Great stopped, on the banks
of the N%crbudda, once sheltered 1000
men. and when seen by Forbes a genera.
ton ago, though much reduced in size
by floods. was still nearly 1000 feet in
circumference, and had more than
3 900 trunks. -Arkansaw Traveller.

GENIUS IN ENERGY.

Key to Success.

Earnest and Unceasing labor the Golden
Key to Success.
There is q positive genius in energy.
Many people have yet to learn that the
current tradition, that certain great
characters have wrought their great.
ness through inspiration alone, is a
fiction pure and simple. There are no
rivals in any career so formidable as
the earnest, vigorous, determined
worker, who rcckons hours only as a
possibility of achievement. Literary
aspirations may inflame the soul of the
ambitious, as a thought of some great
name dashes like a meteor through
the mine. and midnight may find
the dreamer chasing the phantoms
of the future; but it is
labor alone hat yields the perfect
fruit. 1t is possible to feel the weight
of this iron truth, if, after a season OF
aimless service, he turns to the pages
of some earnest thinker. bordering
calmly over the result of c~easeless and
patient delving in the minds of medi-
~tation, until from out his flinty lethar-
gy, springs the phosphoric flash Of
sympathetic thought yielding both
light and heat. Then follows the
wonder at the grand stretch Of beauty
where before was DIRE airy and waste.

Immediately Selling tho dish. she

But one of the most absurd tricks
Cupid has been known to play recent.
" occurred within the last few months
IN a prosperous little city far up the
Mississippi. Returning from a sleigh.
ing party one wintery evening. a giddy
youth and maiden fell to discussing
the strange fact that although they
hal so long known one another by
name. they never before had met.
I've heard you are an awful Airt,"
said he. Just what I've heard about
YOU" said she. And Sc the contro.
versy began, and continued until this
needless pair decided that there was
but one way TO settle the question o.
who was the most desperate hirt.
"We'l have a Irritation for Just
three weeks" said Blondcl (whose
name doesn't begin with By. I'll
be up Friday evening and we'll be.
GIN"
He kept his word, and they pro.
ceeded to make themselves mutually
agreeable. Saturday he sent a box OF
roses; Sunday he joined her at church,
and she invited him TO dinner; Monday
he took her to the theater; Tuesday to
drive, and so on. Jacques perpetually
blossomed on her table; and, if a day
passed that Blondel wasn't there, a
messenger boy was. At the end Of
the three weeks Blondel inquired il
she was tired Of ii.
"Not at ALL" said she.
Shall we try it another three
wecksP'
with all my heart"
Meanwhile society had something ia
talk about. and three more weeks sped
away. Then he proposed; and she rose
in her wrath. and told him that n tlirt.
alton was a Irritation, but when it
came to asking a girl to marry thai
was carrying it too far.
"But l an in earnest" he remon.
strated.
And then she did the always-be.a.
sister-to-you act; but he said never g
word. only bided q wee and proposed
again. This time she wavercd; and
the nice young mar continued the even
tenor of his way until one fine day he
calmly declared:
Il am certainly going to marry you,
and before the first of the year; so YOU
may as well engage yourself to me
now."
And thus it was that the little god
rcvenged himself upon two people who
thoughtlcssly doled his power ard
gave old Hymcn q certain knot to tie
just before the holidays.

JEREMIAH BLACK.
Thscourting Days Of Pe.~sylva,ta's Great Law

ThsCourting Days Of Peaasylvaatass Great Law
yer.
Mrs. Mary Black Clayton. daughter
eof Jerry" Black has lately published
"reminiscences of her distinguished
father. At Lamerset, Pa, there re
sided Chauncey Forward a most fas-
einatng man; brilliant and instructive
IN conversation, polished, kindly and
gentle in manner, handsome aud re-
fined IN appearance. Young Black be-
came,a frequent visitor to the For
ward :naansion. Mrs Clayton tells the
sequel in this pretty way:
There were eight little Forwards.
The Oldest was daughter and her
name was Mary. When Mr..
Black. as he was always called
in the Forward family, first
knew them Mary was q pretty child,
to whom he used to take little pres
.ents and notice from his lofty height
OF nine years seniority. He observed
that she was a womanly little thing,
the model eldest daughter in family
Of very moderate means, and numer-
Gus ''olive branches" After q time
she went to boarding school at Cum
berland, Md. When she returned MIR.
Black discovered that she had BIOS
somed into a very lovely young wom-
an. She had changed very much, and
had taken on certain dignity which
from that day to this has never de-
serted her. There was no more pet
ting at that time from Mr.. Black.
His manners was different. His
visits to the Forward mansion be-
came more than ever interesting. She
still thought he came solely to hold
intellectual communion with her ia
ther, and as they walked the floor
and talked of every subject between
heaven I'D earth she sat and listened
and learned and admired them both.
In the course of time, however, he be-
gan to go there on Sunday mornings,
when Mary thought he might have
known that both her parents had
gone to church, and. left her at
home to look after the seven little
Forwards. Very often he brought a
book with him and read it to her, or
took one from the shelves and dis
cussed it with her, their enjoymentbe-
ing little marred by the clamorous
wants of the seven. Gradually he
came to realize that his life could not
be whole without the companionship
of the gentle and appreciative Mary.
She understood and recognized his
genius and had abounded faith that a
great future was before him and in
him, and entered upon her partner
ship with a devotion that grew
and strengthened until the sad
10Th of August, 1883. Mr.. and
Mrs. Forward already loved and
respected him. and it seemed to them
no unnatural thing that their daugh-
ter should one day marry him, AL
though she was little more than a
child at the time OF her engagement
only sixteen.

sists almost wholly in tenaciously
holding to old methods and processes
and ideas long ago cast aside an obso-
lete by our own more progressive peo.
pie He considers that in nearly all
respects we are at least hundred

everything that goes to making q ma

About Life Insurance.

Life insurance has grown into favor
as it's peculiar advantages have be-
come better understood. Within the
recollection of our oldest readers it
was regarded as sacrilege for one to
insure his lite. An eminent clergyman
once expressed it as "a distrust of Di-
vine Providence" Happily for the
interests OF the people that supersti-
tion no longer exists. Life insurance
is advocate and pr scticed by the
clergy, the fnancier, the business man,
the farmer, and the laborer, in fact
by all classes OF society. The ques-
tion is not now. "Was the deceased
insured?" but, "How much did he
have?, In answer to an inquiry
OF a public administrator as to the
best OF property which comes into
his hands, the -eply was. life ''insur-
ance policies; they produce cash
without sacrifice or discount" !"
Life insurance is recognized as a
public benefactor. It stimulates
thrift, as the payments agreed upon
are required to be paid atregular peri
DDS; it encourages economy in the
household expenditures; it secures to
children the education and social posi-
tion which they could not have in It's
absence; it improves the condition of
the human family, and to great ex-
tent prevents ind olence and crime. 1t
promotes longevity, by relieving the
anxiety for dependent ones, which not
unfrequently (in the absence of life in
surence) prevents recovery from sick
ness. 1t enables those Of moderate
means to provide liberal patrimony
| for their wives and children, which
would require a lifetime to secure. It
is the only asset which is exempt by
law from taxation, and as against the
claims of creditors. It Is recognized
| by legislators as the sacred fund for
the support of widows and orphans.
